Had a bit of freezing rain then snow and then some wind. Blew down a pole about 2 miles from the house. Crews are out there working on it now. Sure do appreciate their efforts out there in this nasty weather. Thankful for a generator to run the outdoor boiler and the fan on the furnace and plenty of firewood. We have a hand dug well in the front yard that we get water out of to flush the toilet. It's an inconvenience but have had worse before. I remember when I was about 14 we had an ice storm that snapped poles off like tooth picks. That time we had no power for 10 days. Crews then were working 12 hour shifts, day and night
